About the Treasurer: Susan Levickas

Susan Levickas is a sales representative at GraphTec and the founder of Production Club of Baltimore; she is presently serving as treasurer for the club.

Over the past 30 years there have been many challenging print projects however one of my most memorable moments was last year’s Paper Show viewed from atop the unicyclist’s shoulders! PCB and printing have literally taken me to great heights.

The advent of the computer was the impetus to establishing PCB nearly 25 years ago and it continues to be a significant factor today. Printing and marketing communications have morphed into an always changing creative cyberworld.

Speaking from a print prospective the technology has exponentially changed over the last 10 years. It’s amazing how creative ideas that were virtually impossible to print in the recent past are now common place being produced with speed and accuracy. As always the look and feel of a beautifully designed and executed print piece continues to impress me.

With today’s new technology there is always something fresh and innovative happening and that’s what makes organizations like PCB valuable. They help to educate as well as link people together in this evolving market. Social media certainly keeps us connected however nothing takes the place of being with friends and colleagues, laughing and having fun while sharing ideas and experiences.

About the Webmaster: Lucas Hanyok

Lucas is a Frontend Web Designer & Developer in Baltimore.

Our ability to communicate complex ideas through different forms of media is something that has always fascinated me. A passion for communicating through art and technology led me to seek a career in design. I graduated from UMBC in 2006 with a degree in visual arts and have never stopped seeking more from the design world. Being involved with the Production Club has brought me to many great friends and colleagues in the industry. My opinion is that you can never go wrong with pixels, paper, drinks and good people.
